O! My soul is singing your song tonight! My heart howls at the moon of my longing, Coupling love's sweet joy with pain's bitter bite, Angel's verse with spirit's restless keening. Stretching toward the warmth of your embrace, Then gathering my cloak against night's chill, My lips ache for the smoothness of your face As Time's cruel glass takes measure of my will. Two souls joined in the throes of truest love But parted by Fate's curious weaving, Counting not of value man's golden trove, Both seeking the wealth of love's true joining. May love's humble verse strengthen you to strive As your song so beckons my soul to live. ------------------ Jim [This message has been edited by jbouder (edited 10-24-1999).] |

This is lovely indeed -- I do, however, wonder if you meant "throes" instead of "throws" in line 9 ? Just a minor thing, which in no way detracts from the beauty of this song, my friend. --K. |
